On this day, 4 July 1972, students at Fort Street Boys’ High School in Sydney went on strike when they were told by the principal that their shoulder-length hair was too long, and that unless they cut it they would be prevented from sitting their graduation exams. 100 students held a mass meeting on the lawns of the school, and voted to immediately strike. The next day they were joined by more students, ran their own strike flag up the school flagpole, and gave interviews to TV crews arguing for democratic control of the school by students and teachers, rather than the education authorities. After the strikers returned to classes, the schoolauthorities retaliated and suspended six students “for inciting a strike” and for “gross insolence”. 200 students then held another mass meeting and went on strike again, while the school’s unionised teachers issued a statement calling for the withdrawal of the hair rule. In a bid to end the unrest, the NSW Department of Education interviewed and reinstated the six students in early August, while no further students at the school were harassed for the length of their hair.
